In a just a few weeks time Jews around the world will be celebrating the Jewish New Year. It's not celebrated in the same way as the begining of the regular year with huge parties etc. The Jewish people celebrate by going to synagogue and having special prayer services.
Rosh Hashanah is a time for introspection. Time to look at where you are in your life. Where you want to be and how you are going to get there.
In short, many do it, goal setting. But how many times have you set a goal and never achieved it? OR have you set a goal that was way out of your reach? Goal setting is important. I used to think that there isn't really anything to it, but when you realize that it's a way to understand who you are and where you want to go.
Now break it down. Make those goals something that is bite-sized and achievable. When you reach it, go higher. Go to the next step on the ladder. Slowly you will get to your ultimate goal.
There is a custom on Rosh Hashana to eat various foods and bless the new year. It's fun to do and gets the whole family involved.
